That MVVS sound VERY happy in that Taurus. I like it.

Your Taurus really gets up and goes.

Brian,

For you, the video with the Taurus, "up and go". Now you can count the revolutions!
Last weekend it was nice and sunny weather, the cameraman was there but nearly no wind.
As promised we did make a video, "Touch and go"
.

I do start by selecting auto aispeed control and setpoint 60 km/h.
The plane accelerates immediately and after reaching the airspeed the MVVS is throttled back.
All low passes and touch and goes with controlled airspeed 40 km/h and fixed stick, also climbing.
After touch down the RPM increases to compensate landing gear friction on the ground. To climb the engine RPM accelerates more to maintain airspeed.
Have attention for the landing gear, now we can observe the deformation of a tricycle nose leg on moment of touch down.

Next video to show with more windspeed.
